 A young man in Birmingham named Witherspoon has for long time been at work upon a machine which in his belief solves the problem of perpetual motion. His machine, he says, will run until the materials | of which it is composed have worn out. It needs no fuel, water, gas or electric batteries, though he does not deny that electricity is | the motive power, though it is obtained by
 natural means and not by the aid of acids o1 chemicals. The power can be applied to the propulsion of machinery, engines, steamboats in short, anything which requires steam: l The machine has been completed for several l days, but the young man could not muster
 sufficient courage to start it until Saturday | It is under lock and key and will be kept SC | until he has obtained patents in the United l States and foreign countries. In an inter view MT. Witherspoon said '1 know ! that I will be called a crank and all that 1 but will demonstrate to the world that perpetual motion is not impossible, as is be- l lieved by many prominent scientific men. | mean to say that have invented an engine, 1 or motor, which, without any supply of pow CT from without, not only retain it's own motion indefinitely, or as long as the material of which it is made lasts, but it can also be applied to drive all kinds of machinery and therefore do external work. To be more ex- plicit, my machine means device for ere ating power or energy without corresponding expenditure of energy" Witherspoon pro poses to submit his invention to Edison and
 will exhibit it to the public.

calling in of bonds by the government, and the heavy tax rate which it levies upon the banks circulation, thereby eating up the small percentage of profits which the banks are supposed to be allowed upon their is- sues. There is also another cause in coz nection with the bonds, without which bank cannot be established; this is the large premium at which the bonds are held. The weekly payment laws in force in New Eng land are also accountable to certain extent. Since this order of paying has been generally adopted by all large manufacturing estab- Hshments it has created great demand for bills of small denominations with which to pay the employees. In Worcester 1t is stated that since the Washburn & Moen Manufac- turing company adopted the weekly payment system they have required nearly two thou
 sand dollars in one and two dollar bills each
 week, where under the monthly system they only used about fifteen hundred dollars in
 the small denominations. The Crompton
 loom works is now obliged to send team
 and two men to handle the silver dollars that
 are used to pay the employees each week
 Under the old system the men received their
 pay in large bills, and the paymaster could easily carry all the money required Tn nls
 pocket. The story could be repeated of near ly every large concern in the city, the Spy says There has also been unusually large call from the West for small bills to be used in purchasing the crops from the far mers, many ot whom ilFeo Tar away tron banks and to whom checks would be useless, and 1t would also be impossible to transport the necessary amount of gold or silver for that purpose. The banks complain fully as much of the scarcity of five and ten dollar bills as those of smaller denomination. The bank men are somewhat divided in opin- ion as to how long the present trouble will continue. One gentleman was sure that it would be only temporary embarrassment,
 while the majority were of the opinion that
 the future outlook is far from encouraging.
 One thought that remedy could easily be
 had if the banks could be allowed to regu-
 late their circulation to the actual wants of
 the business community. Another gentle
 lecturers increase the pay of their employees 80 that they could use twenty dollar bills to pay for each week.

THE KID McMANUS CASE.

What a Hartford Contemporary Says
 Would be to the Advantage of the
 State.
 Kid" McManus, the Bridgeport burglar, associated with Feyth in the Fairchild jew elry robbery, is out on bail of s1O,0OO and will probably be seen no more, it being tacit- ly understood that his friends will forfeit the bail rather than see him go to prison. This is the third instance within the year, if we recollect aright, where professionals" from New York, bunco steerers or burglars, have entered the State, committed crime, and thought" their liberty through the proper legal channels of the court It does not sub serve the best interests of the State, however, that this thing should be possible. It places the citizens at the mercy of cracksmen and villains for price. The remedy is not ap- parent, as the offenses committed are clearly bailable, but something might be done to prevent the escape of these men from prison walls. The method adopted by them is to have their friends insure some person pos sessed of the requisite real estate qualifca- tion against loss, and thus induce him to give bonds. This sort of bargaining with and for criminals might be stopped to the great advantage of justice in the State.- Hartford Post,

CAMPUS NOTES.

Gossip Among the Students-The Yale. Princeton Football Game. There was no game at the Field yesterday The junior class will elect it's promenade committee at 1:45 to-day. Day '99 s. has been elected captain of the sophomore nine, vice Strait, who does not re- turn to college. Middlebrook, of last years victorious Uni versity crew, is stationed at the Brooklyn navy yard
 Steps will be taken at once to provide suit able trophies for last years champion crew.
 The Ysle-W Wesleyan football game will probably be played next Wednesday.
 There are twenty candidates for the fresh- man tug-of-war team.
 Wallace S9, end rusher on the football team, is laid up with a sprained ankle.
 Prof. Richards is authority for the state ment that one sophomore will be suspended for hazing.
 The Law school opened yesterday. Dean Wayland made few remarks and was fol- lowed by President Dwight, who addressed the entire school.
 There seems to be no doubt but that the Princeton Yale game will be played in New York. At the coming convention Yale will ask that the game be played on Thanksgiv- ing, while Princeton will propose the Satur- day before as the time for the game. Both colleges agreeing to play in New York, the difference about the day can doubtless be compromised.

 How Often Should she Change Her Gown i'm DaY-COmfort and Parade. From the Philadelphia Record ] The question how many times day a
 woman of good standing ought to change her
 gown is one that has been subject to great
 deal of discussion at the various summer
 resorts this season. Naturally numerous opinions have been forthcoming. It is, how
 ever, needless to say that the matter caR-
 properly settled by refinement and good
 taste and by nothing else. Of course every vulgar parvenu who goes to a watering place with dozens of trunks and hundreds of gowns, who covers herself with jewels, and whose sole object in life is to make herself as con- spicuous as possible, changes her dress cer- tainly three or four times a day. A woman of this sort knows perfectly well that her only claim to distinction lies in hsr clothes, and consequently she must dress or die.
 It actually happened few weeks ago that a very brilliant and charming actress was dubbed "no lady" because she wore but two gowns each day. one in the morning and the other in the evening. It would thus seem that woman's social position in the eyes of certain class of ignorant vulgarians is to be determined by the extent and exhib- ition of her wardrobe, and if this be actually the case it is comparatively easy task to distinguish the newly rich from those women whose pretensions to gentility are we'll found ed. It would be difficult to discover why any lady should think it incumbent upon her to dress oftener at showy, noisy watering place than in her own home. True refine ment, on the contrary, would point to an ab sence in the toilet of all that was calculated to attract attention.
 No woman in any kind of society what ever who understands what is due to herself should dress more than three times day. A morning dress, indeed, ought to be worn until dinner time, unless shopping, driving, or visiting entails the putting on of street costume. In summer street gowns are not necessary. Therefore, twice day should the dress be changed, and no oftener. Women who parade as many as four or five gowns daily at summer hotels are generally per sons who would not be tolerated in good society.
